How to identify fake and inferior resin tiles?

At present, there are numerous counterfeit and inferior resin tile products emerging in the market. In order to provide consumers with a correct understanding and selection of resin tiles, the following four methods are provided to identify counterfeit and inferior resin tiles:

One，Weigh the specific gravity.

The main raw material for resin tiles is polyvinyl chloride (PVC), with a specific gravity of approximately 1:4. Weighing a 1 square meter resin tile with a weight ÷ volume ≈ 1.4 proves that the main material of the resin tile is PVC, which can effectively ensure the product's service life. Weight ÷ volume>1.4 indicates that a large amount of heavy calcium carbonate and other fillers are added to the resin tile, which not only cannot guarantee the service life of the product, but also makes the product brittle and prone to breakage, making it only suitable for simple temporary buildings.

Secondly，Burn with fire.

Ignite a corner of the resin tile with fire, and as soon as the fire source leaves, the flame immediately extinguishes itself. Fake and inferior resin tile flames have the potential to spread and have a strong irritating odor. The reason is that in order to give the product a certain degree of flexibility, a plasticizer was added to the fake resin tile with a large amount of heavy calcium carbonate, which has a combustion promoting effect. This type of additive does not meet the fire protection requirements and has poor weather resistance, resulting in cracking under sunlight exposure.

Thirdly，Use your hands to weigh and strike.

Resin tiles have a lightweight texture, and there is a dull feeling when struck between boards; Counterfeit imitation resin tiles feel heavy when weighed by hand. The sound of knocking between boards is clear and crisp.

Fourthly，Look at the appearance.

The resin tile has a clear outline and the material itself is glossy; On the contrary, it is a counterfeit imitation resin tile.
